It was a once-off stimulus programme in 2014.

As for the other part, the €3.7 million is actually a carryover from the previous year. It was added back in this year and that makes up the difference. Although there appears to be a reduction, in fact, it stays the same.

I was asked about Moore Street. I am satisfied that I have fulfilled my statutory responsibility with regard to the national monument. Of course I was disappointed that Dublin city councillors rejected a proposal that would have allowed the restoration works to be carried out and for a visitor centre to be provided in time for Easter 2016. That said, my door is still open and my officials continue to engage on the matter. The national monument is 14 to 17 Moore Street and that is where my responsibility lies.
